I think it is time that we asked George Bush to step aside so that Obama canget his presidency going.

Here's an opinion piece by Chuck Green who writes "Greener Pastures" for theDenver Post Aurora Sentinel...one of the more liberal papers in the country.

Additionally, Mr. Green is a lifelong Democrat ... So this is rather astunning piece.

Obama is victim of Bush's failed promises!

Barack Obama is setting a record-setting number of records during his firstterm in office:Largest budget ever. Largest deficit ever. Largest number of broken promisesever.Most self-serving speeches ever. Largest number of agenda-setting failuresever. Fastest dive in popularity ever!

Wow! Talk about change.

Just over three years ago, fresh from his inauguration celebrations,President Obama was flying high. After one of the nation's most inspiringpolitical campaigns, the election of America 's first black president hadcaptured the hopes and dreams of millions. To his devout followers, it wasinconceivable that a year later his administration would be gripped inself-imposed crisis.

Of course, they don't see it as self-imposed. It's all George Bush's fault !

George Bush, who doesn't have a vote in congress and who no longer occupiesThe White House, is to blame for it all.

He broke Obama's promise, to put all bills on the White House web site forfive days before signing them.

He broke Obama's promise, to have the congressional health care negotiationsbroadcast live on C-SPAN.

He broke Obama's promise, to close the detention center at Guantanamo in thefirst year.

He broke Obama's promise, to make peace with direct, no precondition talkswith America 's most hate-filled enemies during his first year in office,ushering in a new era of global cooperation.

He broke Obama's promise, to end the hiring of former lobbyists into highWhite House jobs.

He broke Obama's promise, to end no-compete contracts with the government.

He broke Obama's promise, to disclose the names of all attendees at closedWhite House meetings.

He broke Obama's promise, for a new era of bipartisan cooperation in allmatters.

He broke Obama's promise, to have chosen a home church to attend Sundayservices with his family by Easter.

Yes, it's all George Bush's fault! President Obama is nothing more than apuppet in the never-ending failed Bush administration. If only George Bushwasn't still in charge, all of President Obama's problems would be solved.His promises would have been kept, the economy would be back on track, Iranwould have stopped its work on developing a nuclear bomb and would benegotiating a peace treaty with Israel . North Korea would have ended itstyrannical regime, and integrity would have been restored to the federalgovernment.

Oh, and did I mention what it would be like, if the Democrats, under theleadership of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, didn't have the heavy yoke ofGeorge Bush around their necks? There would be no ear marks, no closed-doordrafting of bills, no increase in deficit spending, no special-interestinfluence (unions), no vote buying ( Nebraska, Louisiana ).

If only George Bush wasn't still in charge, we'd have real change by now.

All the broken promises, all the failed legislation and delay (health carereform, immigration reform) is not President Obama's fault or the fault ofthe Democrat-controlled Congress. It's all George Bush's fault !

Take for example the attempt of Eric Holder, the president's attorneygeneral, to hold terrorists' trials in New York City . Or his decision totry the Christmas Day underpants bomber as a civilian.

Two disastrous decisions.

Certainly those were bad judgments based on poor advice from George Bush!

Need more proof?

You might recall when Scott Brown won the election to the U.S. Senate fromMassachusetts, capturing "The Ted Kennedy Seat", President Obama said,Brown's victory was the result of the same voter anger that propelled Obamainto office in 2008. People were still angry about George Bush and thepolicies of the past 10 years. And they wanted change.

Yes, according to the president, the voter rebellion in Massachusetts , wasGeorge Bush's fault.

Therefore, in retaliation, they elected a Republican to the Ted Kennedyseat, ending a half-century of domination by Democrats. It is all GeorgeBush's fault!

Will the failed administration of George Bush ever end, and the time forhope and change ever arrive?

Will President Obama ever accept responsibility for something / anything?

(Chuck Green is a veteran Colorado journalist and former editor-in-chief ofThe Denver Post.)

Great post. I knew Bush was still president, I just couldn't get anyone else to believe me. But just on the off chance that Obama decides he wants to be president and take some responsibility, can we help him out the door anyway come November? His non-presidency has lasted long enough.

That's it? That's all you have to say? My eyes are deceiving me, are they not? Where are my paragraphs and where are the great sentences with wonderful clauses? Get to work, woman, this is unacceptable. :)

The man said it all. What else is there to say? I'll save my clauses for the questions that don't have the answer laid out so nicely. Oh, by the by, where is YOUR answer, Madam? I'm going to work now. Bye.

Well he has substituted the Japanese tsunami, European finanical woes, ATM's and other inanimate objects. So to answer your question, Yes, he does know to blame other than Bush for the country's woes. BTW if you disagree, you're a racist. LOL

" The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president.

The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince.

The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president."

wait a minute, I think you and I are in agreement here, I believe the Obama administration is still trying to blame George Bush, even for the F&F scandal. I think the media is very bias, I would hate to think what people would be getting away with if it weren't for Fox News.
